I think it’s easier to get down from a goose than a duck.

Hah, I thought I got it and I still didn't quite get it. I was thinking of "get down" as in lowering your body. Like, your body is lowered from the act of ducking. Get down from a duck(ing position).
Down is a type of feather that was used in various (fancy) bedding and clothes. Nowadays synthetic options are significantly more common and anything with real down feathers is quite expensive.
Oh. That actually explains a lot (uses to hear the term "down feather" as a kid every now and then)
If you don't use goose down, you don't use down at all.
Don't be such a downer.
Last night I dreamt I ate my pillow.
When I woke up I was a bit down in the mouth.
